So I am very new to Game Dev, and I am running into a problem that seems like it should have a simple answer. Unfortunately, I have not been able to figure it out.
I am creating a 2d side scroller. I have incorporated a quick and heavy attack the player can execute on the ground, and a set of attacks when the player is jumping. However, when the air attacks animate, the player continues falling to the ground - often landing before the attack animation finishes. I would like to lock the players position in the air until the animation finishes, and then allow the player to fall it is complete. I haven't figured out how to stop and make the player hover in place during the animation. I've searched around for a solution, but haven't been able to find an explanation.
This doesn't seem like a particularly unique concept, and I am hoping somebody has some sort of similar experience. I would be happy to provide any extra information needed. Thank you for any help you can provide.
